Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Paraphrasing ALWAYS requires a citation. Even if you are using your own words, the idea still belongs to someone else. Sometimes there is a fine line between paraphrasing and plagiarizing someone’s writing. Here’s one strategy for paraphrasing effectively: read over the paragraph of interest.
Detailed explanation-2: -For a direct quotation, always include a full citation (parenthetical or narrative) in the same sentence as the quotation, including the page number (or other location information, e.g., paragraph number). Place a parenthetical citation either immediately after the quotation or at the end of the sentence.
